Album Notes

For the past six years The Malamondos have made their mark on the headboard of Psycho-A-Go-Go rock-n-roll with their seductive vocals, tremolo-verbed twang-n-growl and tightly-thunderous back-beats. With in˜uences ranging from The Rolling Stones and The Sonics to Russ Meyer and The Muppets, it should come as no surprise that The Malamondos have crafted such a unique and instantly intoxicating sound. Spreading the words and rhythms of a darker and more provocative world of sex, lies, and audiotape, The Malamondos have shown the masses that live music and good times were alive and well.Their formula is simple — take pounding, primal dead-of-night beats from the shady beatnik soul of drummer Max Diablo. From his twisted half-brother Mick Diablo, add bass that jump-starts your heart and shakes your body. Liberally apply guitar wrenched from surf and growling garage, coaxed from a moonless night by a plotting Van Serpico. Haunting, gutsy and authoritative vocals top the barely contained swagger of the band as sultry siren Hunny Goodnight weaves her insidious plans for world domination. In June of 2008 these best-laid plans begin to ferment as Red Car Records will release The Malamondos sophomore CD, Roctopussy. Recorded with legendary Southern Culture on the Skids frontman Rick Miller, Roctopussy drips with tales of lust, jealousy and hell-raising like “Bad Bad Fun Girl,” “Do the Temptation,” “Tittyboom” and “Malvina.” With the release of Roctopussy, all that remains for our feared-foursome is utter, unabashed unadulterated world domination. Why the Malamondos? Because they’re the sound that moves you from down in your dark corners. It’s music to sin to – relax, you’ll be forgiven.
